2x^2-16x-20=0

Solution for 2x^2-16x-20=0 equation:

2x^2-16x-20=0

a = 2; b = -16; c = -20;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -162-4·2·(-20)
Δ = 416
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{416}=\sqrt{16*26}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{26}=4\sqrt{26}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-16)-4\sqrt{26}}{2*2}=\frac{16-4\sqrt{26}}{4}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-16)+4\sqrt{26}}{2*2}=\frac{16+4\sqrt{26}}{4}
